This popular chorus is from the worship song "O Come All Ye Faithful." The second chapter of the book of Matthew details how the three wise men worshiped Jesus at the time of his birth: "And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshiped him."

"Yes, Jesus loves me. Yes, Jesus loves me. Yes, Jesus..."

In Paul the Apostle's epistle to the Ephesians, he stresses the undeniable love of Jesus. The third chapter and nineteenth verse of the book of Ephesians reads, "And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God."

Leadeth me

Saved me

It is highly probable that the third verse in the twenty-third chapter of the book of Psalms inspired this chorus line taken from the worship song titled "He Leadeth Me." The Psalms verse goes, "He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake."

"Hallelujah! Thine the glory! Revive..."

The saints

Willam P. Mackay wrote the song that has this chorus line. The name of the song is "Revive Us Again."

"Lord of all, to Thee we raise this our hymn of grateful..."

The seventh chapter of the second book of Samuel provides a clear reason why God deserves the followers' praise. The twenty-second verse asserts God's supreme quality: "Wherefore thou art great, O LORD God: for there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee."

"Yes, we'll gather at the river, the beautiful, the beautiful river. Gather with the saints at the river that flows by..."

The throne of God

Mount Sinai

Christ's palace

Other words from this worship song, which is titled "Shall We Gather at the River?," are, "Shall we gather at the river, where bright angel feet have trod; with its crystal tide forever flowing by the throne of God?" The twenty-second chapter of the book of Revelation paints a similar picture. Its first verse reads, "And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb."

"Jesus paid it all, all to Him I owe; Sin had left a crimson stain, He washed it white..."

This chorus line is taken from the worship song called "Jesus Paid It All." Other song lyrics are: "I hear the Savior say, 'Thy strength indeed is small; child of weakness watch and pray. Find in me thine all in all.'"

"I surrender all, All to Thee my blessed Savior..."

"Under His wings my soul shall abide, Safely abide..."

In the heavens

"Under His Wings" is the title of the worship song. The ninety-first chapter and fourth verse of the Old Testament book of Psalms affirms the song's principles. Part of the verse reads, "under his wings shalt thou trust."

"Count your many blessings, Name them one by one, And it will surprise you what..."

The Lord hath done

Is all so fun

"Face to face in all His glory I shall see Him..."

And I will cry!

In heaven!

If I make it!

By and by!

"When we all get to heaven what a..."

Time of tribulation awaits

Surprise it will be to see Jesus

Day of rejoicing that will be

Long road it is to get there

This chorus is from "When We All Get to Heaven," a song about how heaven is a sweet place to be. The sixteenth chapter of the book of Matthew echoes this belief. The nineteenth verse reads, "And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven."

"There is power, power wonder-working power in the..."

Blood of Jericho

Blood of the Lamb

Light of Heaven

Sea of Galilee

The name of this worship song is "There is Power in the Blood," and it expresses how the blood of Jesus, who is the "Lamb," purifies.

"O that will be glory for me, Glory for me ..."

Glory for me!

Glory for Jesus!

Glory for you!

The worship song's name is "O That Will Be Glory," and it was written by Charles H. Gabriel. Another part of the song goes, "When all my labors and trials are over, And I am safe on that beautiful shore, just to be near the dear Lord I adore will through the ages be glory for me."

"When the days are weary, the long nights dreary, I know my..."

Days are numbered

The twenty-ninth verse reads: "Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? And one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father."

The name of the worship song that is referenced here is "He Keeps Me Singing." The tenth verse from the thirty-fifth chapter of the book of Isaiah echoes the joyful singing theme: "And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads."

So I win

To the end

A verse in this worship song, titled "Our Great Savior," goes, "Friends may fail me, foes assail me; He, my Savior, makes me whole." The thirteenth chapter of the book of Hosea at the fourth verse establishes God's saviorhood: "Thou shalt know no god but me: for there is no saviour beside me."

"And He walks with me, And He talks with me, And He tells me I am..."

His own

Forgiven

His friend

A few lyrics from this worship song called "In the Garden" are as follows: "I come to the garden alone while the dew is still on the roses; And the voice I hear, falling on my ear, the Son of God discloses." These words encourage a deeply meditative and highly spiritual state of mind.

"I'd rather have Jesus than..."

The riches of the world

Anything this world affords today

Sinful things

Worldly possessions

The sixteenth chapter of the book of Matthew poses the question, "For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" The chorus mentioned here is taken from the worship song "I'd Rather Have Jesus." Other words in this song also reflect the viewpoint implied in the book of Matthew, sixteenth chapter, like, "I'd rather have Jesus than houses or lands. I'd rather be led by His nail-pierced hand."

"Turn your eyes upon Jesus, look full in His wonderful..."

Face

Book of life

Hands

"O praise Him! O praise..."

And be glad

That mighty name

The Lord of Hosts

Him! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

"Happy day, happy day, When Jesus washed..."

His hands of all sin

Me clean

My sins away

The temple

The worship song "O Happy Day, That Fixed My Choice" contains this chorus line. The fifteenth chapter of the book of Luke also declares joy when redemption occurs: "...there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth."

"There is a balm in Gilead to..."

Other lyrics for this song, which is titled "There is a Balm in Gilead," are as follows: "Sometimes I feel discouraged and think my work's in vain, But then the Holy Spirit revives my soul again."

"Come and worship, come and worship, worship Christ..."

Before it's too late

Christ the King

The new-born King

I submit to thee

This chorus line belongs to the song titled "Just As I Am." Other lyrics in the song, such as "Just as I am, without one plea, But that Thy Blood was shed for me," sync well with scripture in the sixth chapter of the book of John, which reads, "All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out."

"Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer, to..."
